Editing Naming a Nation

{{TErow| 1 |Day 1|Not trusting anyone else to know how to handle the Barbarian mercenaries who came to help us, I took command of them myself.  Meanwhile, my two Captains should be able to lead the Mudlanders until our two forces can join up again.<p>As part of my agreement with the Barbarians, I have to pay them 1000 Gold every week.  The wisewomen, who are already upset with me for making this deal without their consent, feel it's a waste of money, but I know these Barbarians are capable of turning the tide of battle.<p>So, today we begin our campaign against King Gryphonheart himself.  It feels good to take the battle to our enemy instead of running all the time.}}

{{TErow| 4 |Day 4|I suggested the Mudlanders claim these swamps as their own and order King Gryphonheart out.  That way, Gryphonheart would be seen as an aggressor instead of a King trying to control his own people.<p>The wisewomen liked the idea of starting a Mudlander nation, but they realized the name they have used for themselves all these years was one given to them by outsiders.  If they were going to have their own nation, they needed a name as well.<p>At first, this honour fell to me, their leader, but I refused.<p>"Something as important as this should be the responsibility of the community, not one man," I had said.  Not to mention, I didn't feel right naming the people I once subjugated.<p>Adamina and the wisewomen agreed and set about the task of naming a nation.  Of course, I wasn't going to hold my breath.  They still hadn't come to a decision about Droglo becoming my official second.  At this rate, the boy would be grown up by the time they decided if he was too young to lead.}}

{{TErow| 10 |Day 10|Of course, King Gryphonheart's response to our claim that these swamps belong to a free Mudlander nation was rage.  He sent our letter back to us in ashes along with a second rambling letter telling us that we can't claim this land since we are slaves with no right to speak anyway.}}

{{TErow| 24 |Day 24|In an elaborate ceremony today, Adamina and the other wisewomen announced the name of their new nation.<p>"We shall call it Tatalia after a word from the Forgotten Language of our Ancestors used today only by our Witches!" said Adamina.<p>The Mudlanders cheered, obviously agreeing with the new name.  I looked around at these people, at how close they had become over the last months.  Except for the scars on their bodies, there was no indication that they had been slaves a short time ago.<p>When the ceremony was over, I pulled Adamina aside and asked her what Tatalia meant.<p>"Community," she said.  "You gave me the idea, actually, when you told me this was a task for all our people, not just one."<p>"Oh, well, I'm glad to be of help," I said.<p>Community - it was a fitting name.}}
